Lin Ke lit a cigarette and threw another one at me, although I rarely smoked it, but it was difficult to resist it, and it also lit it with him.

After lighting a cigarette, the world that belongs to me was quiet again, I wanted to talk to Lin Ke for a few words, but I was afraid of disturbing the quiet atmosphere, so I endured it, and then listened to the sound of the dripping rain, thought about what had happened in the past few days again, and indulged in the loneliness of a person......

Li Shi sat not far from me, she didn't know where to find the pen, she drew on the small notebook she ordered, stopped for a while, was silent for a while, and looked at the rain outside the house for a while.

And when Lin Ke took two bottles of beer for me, picked up the guitar and sang a song "Diary of a Little Rain" for us, he only sang half of it, and the second half was habitually left to me, we were a few meters apart, he played, and I hummed and quickly entered the beat: "Before you decided to leave, the last night in my city, the roses and beers on the table, and the lies told to each other, I also believed it, you just feigned a smile, I didn't find out that you put yesterday in a wine glass, I walked through a few streets and a few shops, and the night I met you, The dog on the side of the road led its owner to the edge of the city, you are also a lost person, I just can't help it...... I'm just a small person, I will listen to stories seriously, time easily turned me into the master of this tragedy, and I remembered that day was like, it rained lightly today, and you wore my favorite color again, I said hey, where are we going, I will hold up an umbrella that can shelter you from the wind and rain, I just wish you well, even if you get wet......"

After a fitting song, I turned around again and found that Li Shi had finished painting, turning the glass with one hand and looking at us with his hand on his cheek.

After I took a sip of beer to moisten my throat, I asked Li Shidao, "Touch my conscience and say, how am I singing?" ”

Li Shi was very face-saving this time, and took over the words and said: "If I evaluate you, I am afraid that I will not be able to speak if I touch my conscience...... It's a good cooperation, at least your friend sings very tastefully. ”

I didn't deny it, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's, people graduated from professional music conservatories, why don't we have a song?" ”

Li Shi didn't appreciate it, glared at me, and said, "With whom?" It's okay, don't get close to me. ”

"You mean you can do something?"

"You can try!"

I was very helpless by her, and after a moment of silence, I finally relieved my breath and asked, "Didn't you just watch the album at the door?" If you don't ask Lin Ke to bring you a few of the songs inside, if you think it's good, buy a few and take them home. ”

"I'll buy it directly, I don't need him to sing it."

"You're such a tsundere......"

Li Shi ignored me, came to Lin Ke's side, took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed them to him, making a gesture of eight, I hurriedly signaled to Lin Ke, give her eight CDs, and the rest of the money is not to be found.

Li Shi didn't seem to want to ask for change, so she motioned for the album to take it herself when she left, and handed the sketch she had drawn before to Lin Ke, saying, "Boss, this is what I drew casually because I felt it, if you like it, I can give it to you." ”

Lin Ke hurriedly stood up, looked at it carefully, and said with a praising expression: "This painting is really good!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I think your musical literacy is really high, for example, there are many uncontrollable details on the chorus just now, you can control it with ease......"

I swear, this is the first time I've ever seen such a warm accosting from Li. These two people who are usually arrogant and don't like to talk, they met like old friends who have known each other for a long time, looking at Li Shi's active appearance, I can't help but think of the scene where she laughed with the guests last night, is it really my personal reason that she showed a bad temper?

……

The sound of the rain ticking and ticking always makes people sensitive, so that I, who am not used to loneliness, fall into uneasiness again, so the whole person is inexplicably pulled by two emotions in the emptiness.

The cold rain was blowing outside, a cup of acacia tea was steaming in the house, I wiped my face with the relaxation after being tired, and lay on the sofa with my eyes closed, my soul seemed to have walked in the alley outside the house that gradually lost the hustle and bustle......

After a while, the rain outside the window was still falling, and Li Shi and Lin Ke had stopped talking, I waited for them to speak again, but finally failed to achieve their wishes, and after a few more minutes, we still maintained this silent and awkward posture, I couldn't bear it, and finally changed the topic to her and asked, "When are we going back?" ”

"Wait, I'd like to sit a little longer."

Li Shi took a sip of tea, and then looked around the bar with a complicated expression, as if there was something that attracted her here, of course, such a look must have something to do with the experience.

"Boss Lin, this is located in the hinterland of the scenic spot, it stands to reason that business should not be so bleak, is it because the publicity is not in place, or because of the problem of the bar itself?"

Lin Ke looked at the sketch, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, nodded and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, but the problems you mentioned do exist, I hardly publicize it, besides, I won't change anything here, and there is no luxury stage facilities in the city bar, and there is no other bar in the vicinity that will shout, so the reputation is getting worse and worse, and finally everyone directly ignores this piece, and even many people write directly on the travel network guide, don't come to the "Road Ballad" bar!" ”

"Why is this happening?"

"Maybe I'm too stubborn, and few of you who came here can stay and sit for as long as you do, but those who stay have become my friends."

Li Shi looked at the bar again and said, "I've been to a lot of bars, but the atmosphere here is very different!" It's a weird atmosphere, but there's no denying its charm. ”

Li Shi's recognition finally relieved Lin Ke on the other side, and I didn't have a trace of nervousness from beginning to end, because people who really stayed and felt it with their hearts would like it here.

Lin Ke lamented: "We are a generation forgotten by history, with no purpose, no status, no war, no economic panic, every war is a war of hearts, and our panic is just our life, and the forgotten inheritance......"

Li Shi didn't speak immediately, as if she was giving herself time to prepare psychologically, and after a full minute, she finally spoke: "I don't think I can go on anymore, you are indeed doing things to inherit the original culture, but have you ever thought that if the bar is closed, everything will become zero, in addition to the traditional offline reception, we should also promote it on the website, guide everyone's understanding in the direction of culture, and form a core competitiveness that is different from other bars." ”

In the past few days, I have heard Li Shi so rational analysis, she looks at the problem very thoroughly, which also aroused my desire to analyze the problem, a little bit of his own thinking, said: "Lin Ke is indeed right in preserving culture, but obsolescence does not mean history, what we want is a sense of history." If you're just choosing between tradition and modernity, and you don't promote the bar, then it's all about your own amusement, as I mentioned a long time ago. ”

Li Shi held her chin and thought for a long time, and after listening to me, she looked at me incredulously, but she was not in a hurry to express her position, and at this time I felt nervous inexplicably, because the above remarks were only based on my personal understanding......

I subconsciously leaned forward, exhaled softly, and relaxed myself, and then said to Li Shi: "You have been silent and silent, do you agree with my idea?" ”

Originally, it was just a temptation, but unexpectedly, Li Shi nodded very seriously.

I said tentatively, "Do you think I'm very talented now?" ”

Li Shi looked at me and said, "If you are really talented, can your friend's shop be used like it is now?" However, effective advocacy is still necessary, which at least provides a viable idea for the next development. ”

After receiving Li Shi's approval, I was very happy, and immediately applauded and said: "Happy cooperation, happy cooperation." ”

"Let's stop here! You don't have to worry about me, I'm not going to change anything in the bar. ”

Lin Ke made the same stubbornness in the past, I was a little caught off guard, and Li Shi was even more caught off guard than me, we looked at Lin Ke with the same eyes, but we didn't understand why he was so stubborn, I have known him for three years, but he has never talked to me.

I know very well that with Li Shi present, it is not suitable to persuade Lin Ke anything, but thinking of what he has been doing these days, my heart is extremely depressed, and I finally smiled and said to Li Shi: "Big money, if you have money, sponsor it!" ”

Lin Ke's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't have a seizure after all, but just said to me: "Yu Hang, it's raining heavily, hurry back!" ”

Li Shi smiled meaningfully, and then took the words: "It seems that no one makes any friends......

My face was even more ugly, but because this was not in a youth hostel, I still suppressed my temperament, and said to Li Shi: "Don't let me lose face here, you should know the purpose of bringing you here today, let's hurry back!" ”

Li Shi still looked at me with a complicated face, finally realized something, nodded, avoided my forced gaze, and then picked up the bag and walked out the door.

……

At the entrance of the store, Li Shi uncovered the plastic film, counted eight CDs, put them in her handbag, and then walked to the exit of the alley in the light rain.

I drank some beer, but it didn't hinder driving, Li Shi was very conscious, as if this car was bought for me as a driver, and sat in the co-pilot very consciously.

When I drove the car to a better part of the road, I reminded Lai, "Why don't you take out a CD and put it out and listen to it?" ”

"For me, Lin Ke's songs, listening to one song a day is enough!"

"Why do you hear this so complaining......

She smiled and said, "Am I not grieving?" ”

I looked at Li Shi again, the beautiful face, the unparalleled temperament, and the unattainable generosity of ordinary people, made me even more unable to associate the word "grievance" with her, and said for a while: "People like you are hypocritical, eating and playing music is called pastime, and playing music when hungry is called survival, you are obviously a rich man." ”

"So in your eyes, all my encounters have become deserved, is that what you mean?"

I looked at her with some embarrassment, then quickly turned my attention to the road that was about to turn, and after a moment fell silent...... Because I didn't know how to answer her words, but after this joke, I felt her unwillingness and grievance.

What is the identity of this mysterious woman, and what kind of experience does she have, so that she can become so persistent and emotional......
